At one hospital in Secunderabad, the police team was told that insurance for state employees only covered the heart and not injuries to the head. Crucial moments were lost in the process. The critically wounded man was then taken to a second hospital, where he died.

Mr Lakshman’s family has donated his liver and kidneys.
